Web 2.0 relevant to corporates
A leading bank was forced to rethink dropping interest-free overdrafts for those leaving university after UK students harnessed the power of Facebook and pupils at Castle Rushen High School are currently using the same medium to push for the removal of a teacher.
Younger generations intuitively use such media and members of the Chartered Management Institute discussed how the current business community should do the same with an expert panel at the Hilton Hotel.
Panel chairman Chris Gledhill, managing director of PDMS, said: ‘We are talking about things like wikis, Facebook, Myspace and applications key to consumers. It is about people interacting and creating their own personality online.’

Hi
Was that the event that was sponsored by Work Connexions Ltd? I like the poster in the background. Your readers may also be very interested in this link:

Gary I actually tagged Work Connexions to the post. You’re welcome.
Sherrilynne, I actually noticed. Very kind of you. Thanks. I was just getting a bit more ‘publicity’ for :

For reference, Work Connexions Ltd is 100 per cent Leo’s company. I like the concept and admire his tenacity. I hope that my ‘obnoxious’ comments do not reflect upon Leo or his company. As you said in one of your blogs earlier in the year, “We should all get behind him”. Whilst the response from the general public has been excellent, I had not seen any evidence of this from the local business clique. This is a community site but has been perceived as a threat to established companies. The behaviour of one or two has been nothing short of pathetic and narrow minded. Companies need to embrace this concept. If they don’t they will miss the boat. Then again, there is nothing new about that on this island. Personally I prefer flying.
He he.
